I’m so sick of all this **** with both of them and Quin to boot. Ryan Smith needs to look around, find his *********, ask Quin if he is the coach of the Utah Jazz moving forward or not, demand an immediate answer to that question and ship both Donovan and Rudy out for the best assets they can...
The Jazz are so limited with assets, that the NAW deal was probably a swing for the fences not necessarily for the ‘22 home stretch, but beyond.
They most likely make this move so they can tell Donovan “Look, we had a high draft rating on this guy and we think he’s been mis-cast on a bad team...
I like Donovan, and while I’d much rather have it work out with him here, if you’re telling me we could have Fournier, Barrett (or Reddish), and 3 to 4 first round picks, I’m hard pressed not to think the Jazz come out wayyyy ahead in that scenario. But they’ve gotta hit on one or two of those...
I couldn’t agree more. I remember the first time I saw the new blue uni’s during the D-Will/Boozer era and I was so pissed off. Those were the most bland, generic, and useless uni’s I’ve ever seen a team in any sport use. They lacked any identity what so ever and introduced a color scheme that...
While I still believe this about Ryan Smith, I feel more shaky about it than I did 4 or 5 months ago. I do think that Ryan cares deeply about how this franchise and state are perceived and I do think that his intentions are pure. At the same time, I see moves like bringing in a guy like Danny...
I’m really puzzled by Ryan Smith’s rational on this. Back when news broke that the Jazz would be moving to a black and yellow color scheme, Ryan came out and said something to the effect of the Jazz color pallet being all over the place over the years and a need to forge an identity.
So his...
This is false on so many levels:
If we’re looking at “statewide professional sport brands”:
Minnesota Timberwolves
Minnesota Vikings
Florida Marlins (Now Miami)
California Angels (Now Anaheim)
Arizona Cardinals
Colorado Rockies
New Jersey Devils
This grass roots effort completely misses the mark as the purple mountain uni’s are what started the entire Utah Jazz identity crisis to begin with.
The J-Note is the only sovereign logo of the Utah Jazz. Period. It was a huge mistake to move away from it the first time, and it’s an even...
I feel dirty saying this because Ben Simmons is one of the least likeable guys to probably ever play in the NBA, but you do have to wonder how far a Jazz team could go if you had Simmons patrolling the perimeter while Gobert handled his business down low. The Jazz would have to have 3 other guys...
Oneye’s delusional, Jazz fans that expect Donovan to play for 1 team his entire career are delusional, and as always, all the sane people reside in the middle ground.
The Hayward saga taught me A LOT about getting butthurt over a non-superstar jilting your team. Even if Hayward hadn’t suffered...
To be fair, if one of us were handling the broadcast of 80+ Jazz games each year, we’re bound to mix up somebody’s name at some point.
That being said, Boler seems to have a lot of those moments.
Reading those comments makes me so happy to be a Jazz fan.
Sure, we currently have our playoff struggles, but at least each regular season game is engaging and a reason for optimism. Poor Blazer fans are bleak AF right now.
Can you imagine if it’s actually true?? I keep watching them handle switching defenses and teams going small on us, and make no mistake, they’ve handled all of it with ease, but I’m still worried about the shine coming off yet again in the playoffs.
I still think there’s gotta be a move for a...
Easily some of the dopiest fan comments we’ve had thus far. Very infuriating to read. Somebody should send them a memo that we’re well aware that beating a Clipper team without KL, PG, and Batum in December isn’t much to celebrate, but well, the game was on the NBA schedule so we went ahead and...
I promise you that NBA trades are driven by what assets a team has to work with and how they decide to make them available and absolutely ZERO to do with the celebrity status of the opposing GM. And if reports are true, Ainge’s current reputation may actually lead opposing GM’s to not even pick...
This is bad enough from a basketball perspective, but when you look at Ainge’s recent quotes on racism in Boston and players voicing their political opinions, this is REALLY bad.
It’s such a bad look for everything that Ryan claims to stand for. I’m sure it’s not as big of a deal for some of...
I’ve been a huge fan of Ryan Smith’s ownership so far but have been leery about him wanting to fill his staff with BYU cronies. He did it with the pregame broadcast crew which annoyed me, but I figured if he stopped there, no harm no foul.
Didn’t want Danny Ainge getting anywhere near this...
Whitesides has been such a pleasant surprise, as has Paschall. I really think in attitude alone, these 2 change our competitive make-up out there on the floor come playoff time. It’s also nice to see Rudy Gay fully engaged and jumping up and down on the bench while cheering his teammates on. The...
The NBA, maybe more so than any other professional sport in America seems to be about paying your dues- especially come playoff time. So much so that we saw Lebron’s super teams in Miami and LA bounced in the playoffs before ultimately winning it all. Obviously, super teams will have an easier...
